God, it hurts to be back at work.

Still, I can look back on an excellent Le Mans, altough not too happy with another Audi victory.

Good show by the two Nissans on the Houx Annexe roundabout on friday night.

Just got back, what a great week and excellant race.

Bit concerned I may have left my liver somewhere in Maison Blanche, hopefully I'll get to pick it up next year :D

Got back safe and sound at 0330 this morning after a reasonable run (if very hot in the MGA) back via Boulogne.   Nightmare traffic jam at Rouen led to a couple of bouts of fuel vaporisation, but otherwise an uneventful run back from yet another marvellous year at Le Mans.

Seems like I must have ignored you on Speedferries last night? (Black Honda Coupe) Apologies - was struggling to stay awake!

Was disappointed with the low profile of the DFH folk - barely visible from Karting N (as witnessed by attachment if I get it to work). {/edit No I can't - here is a link instead http://www.dukla.plus.com/p6190013.jpg }

No worries - you wouldn't have got much response, as I didn't bother to struggle to stay awake and went to sleep instead......  ;D

I've just rolled in the door. Will unpack a few things then of to work. Will do the rest tomorrow. Thanks to The Liverpool Boys for hospitality. Thanks to Team JPC. What a night, what a show, cheers Mark, you deserve a MBE  (or a OMB Order of the Maison Blanche) for your organising. Thanks to the  RS2's for the use of the Pool of Life. Great to meet friends old and new. Roll on next year.

if next year you come and stay on MB I am sure we can find a solution (including the flag, you, tiewraps, ducktape en what ever else is needed) to stop the flag from being blown away  ;D

(it was supoosed to hang between the scafolding and the truck but we couldn't sucure it properly that's why it was where it was)

Hiya Smokie ;D
Home safe home here too. Just parked up the truck and had a shower at home (nothing like that, is there ;))

It was ever so nice to meet all of you! Great to see RobboSPS and Smokie again, and an honour to meet all the guys from TeamJPC, Beermountain, Rick and family (thank your father again for the help on the ignition, Rick!), the PopeMobile-men, Team Zarse (strange humour:)) and ofcourse Fran. And that was only Maison Blanche. Saturdaynight PooBar was great, I realy met too many people in such short time. It was a nice place too, even tough the piling of the beer glasses made me count to 12 pints in four hours :-\

With less work to do for preparation I am already looking forward to 2006. Yeeha! ;D


ps. Didn't say goodbuy to JPChenet, I'll call you soon mate!

Thanks Paddy for getting a beer for me at the bar on saturday evening (I must have been desperate, it was bloody hot). I'll have a few cold ones for you at the Ring. Did you read the bit about Danny the Bear on DSC ? RfH was one of the teams who made it for me this weekend. It looks like Jan even makes it into the ELMS, excellent.

Ooh yes hgb, Jan told the Dutch somewhere April Racing for Holland would finish the LMES series for this year. Plenty more surprises are gonna come out of his magic hat apparently. Rumours lead to Ferrari (??!?) and he's not denying.
But yes, I'll be at Silverstone, and our group will have a small reunion at the Nurburgring. No scaffolding or draftmachine though :-\
And I'll be driving :-[

Hi all, just got back about two hours ago (that journey seems to get worse every year :( ), did some unpacking and had a decent shower. Now I have to get some sleep :-*

Great to meet those of you I did at the Poo bar, although I am going to have problems remembering all the faces, as I can only just about remember the actual night  :o  I am sure it will all come back to me soon.

Just got in an hour or so ago, looking forward to a proper shower!!  :)

Met some of you over at the poo bar on saturday. Regards to...the t.w.a.t.s, team zarse, smokie, fran, black granny, robspot, steve brown, robbo sps & moped boy(!!) amongst others. Shame the numbers weren't higher, or was I just too late getting there?!?!

Weather was great (but made the beer a little too warm :( )
Racing was good (apart from the last hour or so when they all started cruising)
The action at the roundabout by HA on Friday was ace. If anyone has photo's of the guy who fell over in the road & got a round of applause please forward them on, for blackmail purposes!!

Congrats to Tom Kristenson for his 7th victory & JJ Lehto for winning 10 years after his win in the McLaren F1 (what will he be driving in 2015??

Roll on 2006 & the year for the DBR9's to finally take the crown of GT1!! ;D ::)
